over eight hundred delegates atten-
ded the national conference of prohib-
itionists, at Chicago last week, and
every state and territory was repres-
ented. The finance committee asked
that the sum of five thousand dollars
be raised for party purposes, and six
thousand dollars was Immediately con
tributed by the members of the con-
ference and their friends. The pro-
hibition leaders have determined that
from henceforth they will direct their
energies to attacking the democratic
party, as they think it useless to longer
waste their ammunition on the defeated
republicans. They realize that false
professions of friendship and foolish
talk about the "folly of the third party
movement on the part of the repub-
leans make no Roadway against the
prohibition movement, but that the
democratic party is the political rock
of Gibralter in the way of sumptuary
legislation. With the democratic party
with its well settled policy of opposition
to the class of legislation to which pro-
hibition laws belong, they have direct
issue joined and are determined to
fight it out on that line. Such con-
test would be one of principle, and the
discussion which it would elicit would
doubtless be beneficial to the country,
and the result would simply be another
victory for the irrepressible democrats.

On the first page of The Democrat
will be found President Cleveland's
message to congress. 1t is short and
concise, and is an admirable and very
instructive document 1t deals with
only one question; but the most i'm
portant one in American politics the
reform of our system federal taxation.
The stand which the President takes in
the matter is brave and manly, and
characteristic of the man. His posi-
ton is eminently sound, and is in ac-
cord with an enlightened an unbiased
public sentiment. 1t is hoped that the
present congress will proceed at once
to relieve the people from the unjust
and burdensome taxes which are now
collected for the sake of so called
protection. 1t is of the utmost impor-
lance that tariff taxation be speedily

Freight Business a Little Off.

The train records show that the roads are suf-
fering more or less in their business through the
wretched condition Of the country roads, which
prevents shippers reaching the stations with
their products; but for this traffic would be much
heavier. At the present writing there is little
prospect of an early Improvement It will be
noticed, in an examination of the weekly state
ment that $50 fewer loaded cars were received
and forwarded at this point than in the CORE
spending week of 1886, and l, 713 smaller number
than in the corresponding week of 1885. While
there is something Of falling off in business
with all lines, it is most marked with lines car
rying east bound freights, which are down to a
low ebb, while westward the tonnage is
seldom heavier at any time of
the year than row. exceeding the east

The lecture, last night. was equal in every

Governor Will Cumback as man of extraor-

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has decided to
publish his autobiography. For some time many
of his friends have expressed desire that he
should write such book, knowing that outside
of the private life of the pastor himself, his
ments upon the many national and social events
that have occurred in his lifetime and with
which he was SO largely connected, could not
fail to be most valuable. The book is to be pub
lshed by Charles L. Webster e. Co., who also
are to issue the Life of Christ"

finish the Life of Christ" before beginning the
autobiography. Tie former work was rapidly
nearing completion, and would soon be entirely
